Turkey Feathers (How to Drill Anything)

There is nothing better than using the same materials you already created for a new purpose. My Thanksgiving turkey from Pluck the Turkey (Note Review) is a multi-purpose turkey for drilling other things as well.

What You Need:

A turkey body, plus a lot of feathers

I cut mine out of scrapbooking paper so they were already in cute patterns with no extra effort on my part.

If you want to be able to reuse it for multiple purposes, laminate everything. Otherwise, don’t bother.

Tape or sticky tack

Setup:

Write on the back of the feathers what you want to drill, such as:

Phrase 1, Phrase 2, Phrase 3, OR

Review Song, Recital Song, Sightreading, OR

Rhythms to clap back OR

write absolutely nothing and just draw a card from a stack of flashcards when necessary.

Hide the feathers around the room or don’t bother and just put them in a heap next to your turkey body.

How to Play:

The student finds a feather if they are hidden or just choose one if they’re not.

Do whatever is on the flashcard.

Tape or sticky tack the feather on the turkey body to make your turkey resplendent.
